As a Senior Engineer, I worked on enhancing and fixing defects in the Yield Management System. I was responsible for software and code analysis using Coverity and participated in agile development. My role involved coding and debugging applications in C++ and integrating various tools for system improvement.
Maintained and improved a live production system by triaging, debugging, and resolving customer-reported defects to improve platform stability and reliability. Used Coverity for recurring quality analysis to eliminate critical vulnerabilities and potential runtime errors before production.
Designed and built interactive MFC/WIN32 UI modules for yield tracking, defect classification, and data visualization used for detailed semiconductor defect analysis. Architected high-performance C++ modules with STL and WIN32 APIs to support defect data processing workflows across 5+ Odyssey platform product features, resolving production-impacting defects using stack traces and logs.
Contributed across 10+ Odyssey modules over 3+ years, fixing hundreds of production defects and delivering feature improvements used by semiconductor fabs worldwide to improve manufacturing yield. Applied OOP principles across the SDLC to implement maintainable C++/MFC components and diagnose defects.
Introduced Coverity static code analysis into the team pipeline, trained 5+ engineers, and established it as a mandatory pre-release quality gate to reduce post-release defect rates. Integrated IBM PurifyPlus to detect and eliminate critical memory leaks, improving production system stability and reliability.
